Star Gate

At the same time, countless Human Kings set up battle formations. They exerted such a magnificent outpouring of force that it was like an imperial weapon had been newly created. Their might came down over the scene and bade the chaos be united!

A cicada’s croon reverberated throughout the chaos. Tribulation giants blinked, seeing the seasons stream away from them. They abruptly collapsed on the spot!

“This...”

“What??” The crowd reeled with shock. The Calamity master’s dao had been broken! Who was this?! Where did they come from??

The Skyward master, however, breathed out with relief. The Calamity master looked around unpleasantly and snorted, “So it’s not just one person!”

There were more than one!

It was only now that he fully sensed the others’ presence, that there was more than one person fighting him. Multiple powerhouses had set foot through space and time to reach them!

“Is that all there is to you guys?” sneered the Calamity master. “If that’s the case, then you aren’t good for much!”

Another ten thousand giants materialized, each of them a force to be reckoned with. The previous giants appeared to be appetizers in comparison. The rest of the Skyward crowd watched silently, wanting to make their own assessment.

Li Hao’s heart missed a beat!

The five of them combined had only shattered the tribulation giants. He thought that they would be able to gravely injure the ninth rank as a result. However, the truth demonstrated that they’d overestimated themselves!

It was true that the five of them were working together, but they were just here in mental spirit form. All of the ninth ranks here could be considered mental entities as well.

Clearly, what they’d brought to bear up till now could only be considered an appetizer. The ten thousand tribulation giants that were appearing again were the real demonstration of ninth rank strength!

Li Hao said nothing. It was very fun to exchange blows with premier existences. This was something that he’d always dreamed of!

The young man’s longsword came to bear. It was like time stopped!

Incredible force unleashed itself when the sword struck. The seasons withered and flourished. Rumble...

Countless giants broke apart once more!

The Calamity master’s expression snapped! So strong! Was this a freezing of time?

“There’s five of them!” the Skyward master suddenly said.

The Calamity master nodded, he understood what the other was saying. They faced five opponents working in tandem, not just one. Five powerhouses from the future or past had come to them!

That was fine. Judging from the state of things, the five weren’t ninth ranks. And yet, that was terrifying at the same time. Cultivators not at ninth rank could go toe-to-toe with him!

That was making him lose face in front of juniors!

The Calamity master truly stirred to action now. He growled, sending claps of thunder over the world. Thunder and lightning were just surface-level displays of disaster. The void collapsed the next moment, revealing endless calamities in the opening!

There were floodwaters, flames that scorched the heavens, erosion of the chaos, and the collapse of sky and earth...

Those were the true calamities!

Thunder and lightning were just surface externalities. The Calamity master was no weakling among the ninth ranks. How would he easily be defeated by several eighth ranks??

The daos in the void seemed to emanate spirit. Not only that, but even chaos dao seemed to be visible. These ninth ranks... appeared to be extracting energy from the chaos dao and not their worlds.

Chaos dao!

They’d integrated themselves into the chaos!

Li Hao’s face twitched. So the ninth ranks were part of chaos dao??

I see! He’d discovered something incredible.

“Integration with chaos dao...” Long Zhan’s voice rang in his ear. “Extracting chaos strength... no wonder they can maintain ninth rank battle strength. These guys...”

The dragon realized something in the next moment and growled with anger, “So this is why my chaos race is so dumb! They are extracting spirit from the great dao! The longer one’s lifespan is, the more wise we should be, not dumb.

“My chaos race wanders around in the universe, homeless. The reason behind that might be because these guys have extracted a large sum of spirit from the chaos! Damn them!”

“Let’s shelve that until after we make it through our current challenge!” said Chaos Sky. “Who would’ve thought that we’d encounter some sort of celebration today? There’s more than one ninth rank here. If this continues, one Calamity might be the end of us all!”

Just one ninth rank was sufficient to neutralize the five of them. That rather shocked some of the overlords. Was this what was meant to be a true ninth rank?

Even Chaos Sky had realized it by this point. He was yet to display the full force of his so-called ninth rank strength. If he continued to hold back, they might fall to even just the Calamity master.

Something seemed to appear in Li Hao’s mind. When he next waved his hand, the entire chaos shook with him. Strength flooded out of countless worlds and congregated onto the blow. It struck through everything!

“Hmm?” The silent Skyward master sniffed at seeing something different. “Ordered chaos dao? Interesting... The master of order?”

“Are they from the past?” asked the Calamity master. “Has the master of order been resurrected? Is he here for revenge?”

Ninth ranks suddenly manifested in the surroundings.

“The master of order is dead!” someone growled. “The nine layers of the chaos is in the past! Have you come back?”

Chaos Sky didn’t say anything, but Li Hao’s heart quailed!

The master of order!

So... they think I come from the past?

Their past?

Revenge?

Did they kill the master of order? The one who built the nine layers of the outer regions??

The young man was lost in thought. So Chaos Sky had something to do with the dead master of order? The one who’d built order in the chaos?

......

Li Hao hadn’t thought that one engagement would result in the misunderstanding that they were from Skyward’s past.

The master of order!

So such a personage had once existed in the chaos and was the architect of the nine layers. What a pity that it seemed he hadn’t fully succeeded. He’d been killed before he completed his establishment of order.

The ninth ranks on Skyward were shaken by the identification.

“Calm yourselves!” called out the Skyward master. “This is not Order. Order is dead. There was also no time in that era!”

That quieted the crowd. That was right, there had been no time back then! How could this be someone from their past?

Then was it... a disciple of order? Had Order left an heir behind?

Or had someone later come along to cultivate order?

Were these people from the future?

The Calamity master looked aloofly at Li Hao in the void. His temper was one of the more volatile among the ninth ranks. That was to be expected. How would someone who brought disaster in his wake have a good temper?

Li Hao’s wave of a sword of order had spontaneously taken out all of the tribulation giants. That dealt a serious blow to the Calamity master.

However, hearing that the opponent wasn’t from Order set his mind at ease. If it was... he was no match for them.

Order had been an exceedingly ancient ninth rank who’d wanted to build the nine layers of the chaos. One had to know that the chaos universe was exceedingly vast and populated with so many ninth ranks, but someone wanted to organize them all!

It was obvious with a single glance just how powerful such a being was.

Since their enemy was not that august personage...

Then Calamity wasn’t afraid!

Even though their ambushers must have significant backgrounds of their own and somewhat wielded the terrifying dao of time, as a ninth rank, Calamity did not fear anyone below that cultivation level.

“The descendent of order, a cultivator of time, and a dragon exalted emperor? Who else is there?” Calamity rose into the air, no longer manipulating his thunder tribulations. He set foot through the void. Although the other ninth ranks wished to be involved as well, they elected to simply observe after a moment of hesitation.

This was a battle of ninth rank dignity. The Calamity master had exchanged blows with the people from the future, but did not walk away with a victory. Involving themselves right this moment might incur the Calamity master’s displeasure.

In fact, he might attack them instead.

The Skyward master wanted to say a few words, but opted to be silent when he saw the Calamity master’s mood. These people... seemed to be here for him, but Calamity had taken the lead. Those actions showed him face, but what if it also ruined a fortunate encounter for him?

Ah, whatever!

......

Within the void.

Li Hao already felt that this trip had been well worth it, even if he didn’t end up conversing with Skyward.

So the nine layers of the outer regions had been constructed by the master of order. That person was dead, dead at the hands of these ninth ranks. For some reason, they hadn’t wanted order to be established. Perhaps Order’s thought had been to unify the chaos, much like Chaos Sky’s ambitions were. Maybe that was why he’d been killed for it!

Secondly, there was a lot of spirit within a ninth rank’s dao. Spirit was the key to ninth rank. There had been plenty of it in the past, but these ninth ranks had all assimilated with the dao of the chaos and extracted a large sum of spirit from the chaos. It made the spirit of the chaos shrivel up.

And now, Long Zhan might have a connection to this.

Two of the five might have a grudge against this ninth rank. It was interesting that both of them wanted to build their own dynasty. One wished to establish order, the order wanted to reverse his race’s destiny.

Just connecting the dots between those points alone made this trip worth it! But this still wasn’t enough since Li Hao was yet to see the Skyward master in action. He wanted to witness Skyward’s dao as what was inside the dao chess wasn’t sufficient.
